The Hotel Belleclaire
THE PLACE FOR STARTING OVER
By June Rachelson-Ospa and Kezia Hirsey
A New Musical About Friends, Family and Finding Yourself

She's 65 years old and she's just done the unthinkable – packed her bags, left a note, and boarded a plane for New York City. She's free at last after 43 years of a marriage that was all about him. As she rides the elevator up to her room at the Hotel Belleclaire she hears herself say: What have I done? I'm totally on my own! Am I crazy?

So begins The Hotel Belleclaire and the saga of our heroine, Gloria. Gloria is
about to become a grey divorcee, and a statistic in a growing trend of "ladies of a certain age"who want out. Silver separation is on the rise, led by other "Glorias," who at 50+ are walking –if not running – away from long-term marriages like never before. The Hotel Belleclaire musical is about this growing phenomenon and how three special women come to find their empowerment through tears, laughs and room service. They're not only friends but family, and they're on the road to reclaiming their identities and finding themselves. But actions have consequences, and when Gloria begins to come down from the high of her very dramatic "I've had enough!," she finds she is, well... completely clueless. It will take the experience of Marilyn and Eve to fill her in on the birds and the bees, and help her power on with confidence.
Like most women who decide to take their chances alone, Gloria hits an emotional wall of guilt, grief, anger, depression, fear and anxiety. She's got BIG questions:
Will I be lonely on my own?
Am I still attractive to men?
It's been so long since I've dated, can I get back in the game?
And what if he wants to have SEX!!!

It's a good thing Gloria has Eve and Marilyn to turn to for advice!
The Hotel Bellclaire musical is a funny, empowering, entertaining, lively and
tuneful journey for women (and men!) of all ages.
